I did this as a sort of custom, as I dont really like the original seats & rear fenders. I decided on the retro racer theme when I found out that these were a favourite with local racing enthusiasts. To the purists: yes I know it's technically not a 'Royal Enfield' (Constellation sticker on pedestrian slicer) but I took some liberties ok!

That little bike is sweet as Pete, man! It reminds me of the stuff I used to make when I was younger ...... I'll BET that thing is more fun to ride than a red-head with half a bottle of wine in her .... Heeheehee!! Great job - I'd call it an Enfield on enthusiasm alone!

What motor is that? How well does that 2 stroke run with a megaphone exhaust?

It's Enfield India's 1970's version of the Villiers 197cc motor (it runs a Villiers 197cc piston & has Villiers air cleaner & Villiers type 25 carb). It was developed out of Enfield's previous use of Villiers motors.I think it runs a bit better with the cocktail shaker muffler. It has a baffle in the end of the header pipe, & 2 baffles towards the end of the muffler. So Im guessin somehow the whole expansion thing seems to happen in the tapered part of the muffler. The old Villiers 2 strokes on the 50's British bikes just used to have a basic peashooter exhaust !The old enfield muffler is now sittin in my shed.

can you give some more info on the bike plz , what carberation , and what type of ign settup is it?, is the ign bought in , or was it enfields own design?

any picci of this area?

Carb is Villiers S25 type. Some of the ignition parts are generic British Lucas parts,(eg. Lucas switches) & some are Enfield India (eg. Minda ammeter) Overall, the bikes were a mix of Enfield's India's own design, Bullet 350 parts, generic parts used on other British lightweights, & Villiers parts.

as a lover of old brit two strokes , and owning 3 bsa bantams with a mix of wipac/lucas stuff , if you have any probs / questions either ask me (pm) or go to real classics (uk) http://www.realclassic.co.uk/messages.html as a lot of people have villiers type bikes
